How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...

Economic responsibility

Over the years we have built excellent relationships with accommodation providers, restaurant owners, boatmen, crafts people, crofters and estates. Since our first trips they have all assisted us by creating outstanding holidays. We try to ensure that the money spent by us, or by our clients, helps support these people who guarantee to provide our clients with the best Highland hospitality.

Environmental responsibility

We reduce, reuse, recycle in all aspects of our operations. Holiday itineraries are planned carefully to minimise unnecessary travel and all holiday starting points are reachable by train.

Social responsibility

At NWF we accept that we have a social responsibility to preserve the rich cultural and historical identity of Scotland. A holiday with NWF is more than walking in the remote wild lands is about exploring and sharing this culture.
